8 Explore . . . 2011 New Brunswick Travel Guide TOWN OF HARTLAND

Hartland, the smallest town in New Brunswick, with a population of about 902, has a varied and inter- esting history. It was known as “Mouth of the ’Guimac” until it was officially changed to “Hartland” about 1870. Some say it was named in honor of Rev. Samuel Hart, an early Baptist minister; oth- ers say it is in honor of James Hartley, an early surveyor; while others say it was named because it was “the heart of the county.” Its early settlers were loyalist with William Orser and his six children being the first settlers. William’s first wife died and he married Mary Blake Craig, who also had six chil- dren. To complete the story William and Mary had six more children. Mary Blake Craig Orser is called the “Mother of Hartland.” The river has always been impor- tant in Hartland’s history. As early as 1813 Troops were moved from the Maritimes to Upper Canada on the river, especially when is was frozen. Steamships plied the river waters in the mid-1800s, but only during high water. In 1997 Hartland was the National winner of “Communities in Bloom” a contest for communities with a pop- ulation under 1500. In 1998 Hartland won “The Canadian Living Award for the Best Community Spirit.”

Mactaquac Provincial Park is a broad woodland and recreation complex.

Spend the day at freshwater beaches and let your cares drift away. Enjoy soft breezes coming off the water while you sunbathe, windsurf, canoe, fish or have a picnic.

Mactaquac Fish Culture Station When the Mactaquac Hydroelectric Dam was proposed for the Saint John River in the early 1960's, concern was expressed over its probable effects on the migratory fish resources. As a result of this concern, a fish collection facility was built into the dam, a trucking operation was initiated to distribute fish upriver, and the Mactaquac Fish Culture Station was constructed to compensate for salmon production losses in the flooded area behind the dam. Today, the Mactaquac "fish" facilities include the Fish Collection Facility and trucking operation (at the dam), the Accelerated Rearing Facility (beside the dam), and the Main Salmon Hatchery (on this site). Riverside Resort & Conference Centre overlooks Mactaquac Lake.

Our brewers, Wendy Papadopoulos and Chris Welch, are intensely passionate about their personalized approach to the science of brewing. Their dedication is manifested in the taste and flavour consistency of their efforts.

This tiny shorebird is com- mon in the Bay of Fundy area in late July and early August as it stocks up on fuel for its long trip back to South America. The semipalmated sandpiper is unique and distinct--just like us.

Saint John is home to the world-famous Reversing Falls. In Saint John harbour, the Bay of Fundy water mingles with the St. John River. Because of the height of the tides and the geography of the River’s mouth, this is no ordi- nary river flowing to the sea. Twice daily the mighty St. John River is pushed backwards (upstream) by the Fundy tide. This is known as the Reversing Falls. The reversal of the direction is no small feat considering the length of the River ( 750 km / 450 miles) and the volume of water forced through the narrow gorge at the Falls (equivalent 24- hour flow of all the world’s rivers). In Saint John, we experience 8.6m (28 foot) tides; this is the difference from low to high tide. NEW: Saint John has been# designated the first UNESCO Geopark in North America! Stonehammer geological park has over a billion years of geological history, fascinating rock formations, and fossil finds!

32 Explore . . . 2011 New Brunswick Travel Guide Here is the story of the Bay of Fundy, its highest tides of the world and the Reversing Falls rapids:

Saint John is a city surrounded by cliffs and water. The surging colossal tides of the BAY OF FUNDY create an out- standing salt water harbour. Just around the corner fresh water gathered along the route of the St. John River flows towards the sea. Twice daily, millions of gallons of water flowing inward and outward from these bodies of water swirl and clash as they battle for supremacy in the wondrous phenomenon know as the REVERSING FALLS.

Several natural features come together to form the Falls – the narrowing of the St. John River, the shape of the gorge and an underwater ledge are all part of the creation. However, the most important element is the head on collision of two mighty bodies of water – the Bay of Fundy and the St. John River.

The Bay of Fundy has the highest tides in the world.One hundred billion tons of water cascade through the mouth of the Bay from the Atlantic Ocean every 12 hours. This volume is double the daily flow of all the rivers of the world.

The St. John River begins in a wilderness region in Northern Maine. From there to its outlet in the Bay of Fundy, the River winds south – a distance of 450 miles.

The Micmac and Maliseet Indians of this area explains the Reversing Falls in a legend about their great god Glooscap. Glooscap was the keeper of life in what is now New Brunswick. All life with one exception, the beaver, accepted Glooscap’s suprema- cy. One day, the animals ran to Glooscap exclaiming, “Come quick- ly, Beaver has built a dam across the mouth of the river ans the water is spreading over the land.”

Glooscap picked up his giant club and hurried to the mouth of the river. In his rage, he smashed the dam; parts of it remain as the islands that are still there. The force of his blow caused the water to swirl and race. Glooscap announced he would leave it that way so Beaver could not build another dam. The Indians begged Glooscap to change his mind. Finally, he agreed to calm the waters for 20 minutes every six hours, which is why we have slack tide.

The first recorded reference to the phenomenon of the Reversing Falls by a European was made about 1525 by Esteban Gomez, a Portuguese seaman. He called the waterway, “Rio de La Buelta”, the river that goes to and from.

On average, 10 millions gallons of water per minute pour through a 330-foot opening stretching from one side of the river to the other. It tumbles through at up to 25 or 30 knots.

At high tide, the water from the bay becomes higher than the river level and – slowly at first – the river begins to flow upstream. As the bay tides continue to rise, the reverse flow gradually increases and the rapids begin to form, reaching their peak at high tide. At this point, the tidal waters of the bay are actually 14 ½ feet higher than the river. As the cycle continues the Bay begins to drop.

40 Explore . . . 2011 New Brunswick Travel Guide Kingston Peninsula

Nestled between the arms of the Kennebecasis and Saint John rivers, the Kingston Peninsula harkens back to an earlier era. Driving on our country roads, you feel like you are in another world. But the truth is, you're only minutes from the bustling, happening city of Saint John. We're New Brunswick's best kept secret ... the Kingston Peninsula.

History of the Kingston Peninsula The area now known as Kingston was the site of the first major • Crimmins Pottery Loyalist settlement on the peninsula. • Farmers Market The first Loyalists arrived in 1783 and quickly made their mark, • Kingston General building the Anglican Rectory and Union House hotel in 1788, Merchants and the Trinity Church in 1789 - all of which are still standing and actively functioning.

Other historic buildings still stand: the 1810 Carter House now functions as a tea room and gift shop; and the MacDonald Consolidated School building (1910), which is one of the first consolidated schools established by the MacDonald Foundation.

Crimmins Pottery is a second generation business and has long been a part of the New Brunswick craft community . Allan and Sarah Crimmins have been producing quality handmade pottery since 1970. Their daughter Elizabeth joined the business in 1995 and now runs the business with husband John and their two spirited boys...Gregor and Ben. Elizabeth is continuing the family business of producing functional stoneware pottery as well as some one of a kind pieces.

"Much of how and where I live is captured in my work; my life is constantly changing and being influenced by the work I do".

The studio is situated in the St. John River valley at Shampers Bluff, just 35 kilometers from Saint John, New Brunswick. Visitors are always welcome, may watch work in progress, and will always find the pottery shop brimming with creative pieces suitable for any setting.

Demanding utmost control, timing and coordination, these movements are formed by individual horses and riders, in two's, four's and eight's at the trot and at the canter. Months of training, practice and many kilometres/miles around the riding school make horse and rider one.
